IMIQATHANGO YOKUQWALASELWA KWI-BENNINGTON: IZIXHOBO ZOKUZIPHATHA KWAM
I-Bennington Triangle "I-Bennington Triangle" libinzana elenziwe ngumbhali wase-Ngilani uJoseph A. Citro ukubonisa indawo ye-Vermont yase Mzantsi-ntshona apho abantu abaninzi baye batshabalala.
UFrya Langer wanyamalala ngo-Okthobha 28, 1950. Njengabanye abaninzi ababephambi kwakhe, uFrieda wanyamalala ngokupheleleyo ngokungathi ngumshini we-stellar.
Ukuhlala unxibelelwano kwaye ufumane iindaba zethu zamva
Ngolo suku lwasekwindla, uFrieda nomza wakhe baqala ukuhamba inkampu yabo ecaleni kweNtaba yeGlastenbury.
Ilanga lalikhanya kufutshane nethambeka kwaye umoya wayenencasa ebandayo kubusika obuzayo. Yonke into ibibonakala njengesiqhelo kwaye iseluxolweni de uFrieda wanyamalala ngokukhawuleza emgceni weenkuni.
Ngaphandle kokukhangela indawo kule ndawo ngesithupha, akufumaneki umkhondo wentokazi. Emva kweenyanga ezisixhenxe umzimba wakhe wabonakala emzimbeni wakhe, ulele phezu kwendlela leyo anyamalale ngayo. Wayenxibe iimpahla ezifanayo, umzimba wawungazange ubune kwaye akukho sizathu sokufa sinokuchongwa.
Kwakungathi umngxunya ufile ngenxa yokothuka kwimizuzu elishumi ngaphambilana, utshilo umphathi wamapolisa ngelo xesha. Akukho mntu wabona apho ivela khona, akukho mntu wabona apho ivela khona. Kuyaphazamisa.
Ubuncinci ekugqibeleni uFrieda ubuyile, nokuba ufile. Uninzi lwezinye iimeko ezikwunxantathu waseBennington, amaxhoba awazange afunyanwe. Banyamalala kwizitiya zabo, kwiibhedi zabo, kwizikhululo zepetro, kwizindlu. Enye indoda, uJames Tetford, yada yahamba ngelixa ihleli ebhasini.
Oko kunyamalala, ngoDisemba 1, 1949, kwabandakanya indoda ethandabuzekayo eyayisoloko ihlekisa ngombono wento ethile enamandla angaphezu kwendalo. Ukuba uguqukile ngengqondo yakhe soze sazi.
Emva kokutyelela izalamane eSt Albans ngenjikalanga, Mnumzana Tetford wakhwela ibhasi yakhe yokubuyela e-Bennington, apho wayehlala khona. Kwakukho abanye abakhweli abali-14 ebhasini esendleleni eya eBennington kwaye bonke bangqina ukuba babona ijoni elidala lisenza idyudyu lihleli kwindawo yalo.
Nangona kunjalo, xa ibhasi yafika apho yayisiya khona kwimizuzu emihlanu kamva, uMnu Tetford wanyamalala. Izinto zakhe bezihleli kwitrunk kwaye ikhalenda ivuliwe kwisitulo ebehleli kuso. Kwakungekho mkhondo wendoda ngokwakhe. Akuzange kubonwe kwanto.
Ukunyamalala kwakhe kweza iminyaka emithathu emva kokunyamalala ngendlela engaqhelekanga. Umfundi oneminyaka elishumi elinesibhozo ubudala uPaula Welden uhambe uhambo olude ngeenyawo kwihambo ende eNtabeni yaseGlastenbury, elandelwa sisibini esikwiminyaka eyi-100 esimalunga neemitha.
Kwenzeka ntoni kuPaula Jean Welden?
Esi sibini sabona uPaula elandela indlela ejikeleze ilitye elingaphandle kwelitye kwaye emehlweni abo. Ngexesha lokufika kwabo kwisisele, wayehambile kwaye kungekho namnye umntu owambonayo okanye owamvayo kususela oko. Yaba lolunye uphawu lweBennington unxantathu.
Oyena mntu mncinci owaziwayo kwi-Triangle nguPaul Jepson, oneminyaka esibhozo ubudala, ukunyamalala kwakhe kwenzeka kwiintsuku ezili-16 ngaphambi koko kwe-Frieda Langer.
Umama kaPaul, umgcini okhathaleleyo, uyamvumela ukuba adlale ngaphandle kwehagu ngelixa engena ngaphakathi ukuyolusa izilwanyana. Ngexesha lokufikisa kwakhe, inkwenkwe yayinyamalala kwaye, njengakwezinye iimeko, akukhange kufunyanwe namnye kuye ngaphandle kophando olunzulu.
Ngo-1975, indoda egama linguJackson Wright yayiqhuba nenkosikazi yayo isuka eNew York yaya kwisiXeko saseNew York. Oku kufuna ukuba bahambe kwiLincoln Tunnel. Ngokuka-Wright, eqhuba, akuba egqibile ukungena emseleni, watsala imoto ukuze acoce isivalo somoya.
Umfazi wakhe uMartha uye wazivolontiya ukucoca iifestile ngasemva ukuze aqhubeke nohambo ngokulula. Xa wajika uWight, umfazi wakhe wayengasekho. Azange uve okanye ubone nantoni na engaqhelekanga eyenzekileyo, kwaye uphando olulandelayo alufumananga bungqina bokuba ukhohlakele. UMartha Wright wayesandula ukunyamalala.
Ke bayaphi aba bantu kunye nabanye abantu abaninzi, kwaye kutheni le nto ibonakala ngathi ayinabungozi eMelika kufutshane nomda waseCanada yaba liziko lemisebenzi engalunganga?
Akukho mntu unempendulo yawo nawuphi na umbuzo, kodwa kubonakala ngathi udumo olubi lweendawo luvela kwakudala. Kuyaziwa, umzekelo, ukuba ngenkulungwane ye-XNUMX neye-XNUMX amaMelika aseMelika athintela inkqantosi yeGlastenbury, ekholelwa ukuba kukuzukiswa yimimoya engendawo. Babesebenzisa kuphela njengendawo yokungcwaba.
Ngokwentsomi yemveli, yonke imimoya yomine idibana nento apho yathandayo amava aphuma kulo mhlaba. Abantu bomthonyama bade bakholelwe ukuba intlango inelitye elixhonyiweyo elizakuginya yonke into edlulayo.
Ngaba yinkolelo? Yile nto bacinga abahlali bokuqala abamhlophe kunye nokuhlala becinga kude kufike izihlobo kunye neentsapho zabo.
